A rich mindset

_{How I feel when I write these posts}

---

A couple of hours ago a couple of my friends and I were talking about some guy who was once quite successful, and then he made a few gambles and ended up losing everything. We discussed how terrible it must feel to have sat with kings and then all of a sudden you're back on ground level. Not having tasted success before is one thing, but to have it and then lose it all is nothing but devastating.

I have always been of the opinion that if I were to get to a certain level of success or to get a certain amount of money there is no way I can ever allow myself to go back to square one because I would do everything within my power to grow it or at least maintain it. But then it occurred to me that that was probably the exact same thing this guy had in his mind. He wouldn't lose it all, he'd grow it, he'd advance, but then somehow things had gone wrong and then he was back to square one.

This just reminds me of a couple of months ago, when I had little to nothing in terms of money to move around and invest in different blockchains. I saw so many investment opportunities and I wished I had something to put.

"Even if it's just so and so amount, I would have put it." I would say to myself.

And then today I noticed I have, not the amount I was talking about but something close to it and all of a sudden all the investment opportunities I was seeing are no longer an option (they've gone too far), and for some reason, I can't seem to find any new one that catches my eye. Because of this, I was able to realize how things can not go as planned even after all the planning. One may think

"If I have this opportunity I won't be able to allow it to slip away."

But sometimes life happens.

As my ever active mind often does, I started to think of the way forward from there. And then my mind revised this quote

If you can do it once you can do it over and over again.

Of course, as long as one is still alive there is always hope to rebuild, and there's something crazy about rebuilding, it is always faster than building from scratch. You already have a lot of experience from how you built in the past, and though there will always be differences and new things, experiences will always give you an advantage over a newbie. I became a bit calm with this thought.

Then there's also this quote that came to mind

A poor man isn't just poor in terms of money, but also in the mind. Likewise a Rich man.

Someone with a rich mind can not let himself be poor, they could be broke, but they can't be poor, it is only a matter of time (At times I wonder where I hear these quotes from). This is the reason I am actively working on not just acquiring skills, assets and knowledge, I am also working on training my mindset. Because, should need be, a rich mindset would be what I need to bounce back.
